No Doubt @ the Gibson Amphitheater

2. Gwen introduces the band as "all the way" from Anaheim, Irvine, Richmond and when she introduces Gabrial McNair from Los Angeles. A huge roar erupts from the crowd.

3. Tom plays electric guitar for "Don't Speak". Just in time for the acoustic riff, a rack with a guitar is placed in front of him. He seamlessly transfers instruments and back to electric.

4. When Gwen runs offstage to change, Gabrial and Stephen play a reggae riff that gets the crowd grooving.

5. Several times during the show Gwen and Tony dance together. After everything they have been through, they still have amazing chemistry on stage.

6. Gwen begins I'm Just a Girl" with a set of push-ups and finishes the song by asking the girls and the guys to sing it call response. Who wins? Girls! Duh! Gwen enjoys the girls' victory.

7. Gwen sings "Simple Kind of Life". The lyrics now have a new irony. "Always thought I'd be a mom. Sometimes I wish for a mistake" and "You seem like you'd be a good dad".

8. The video screen shows old footage of the band. The audience loves seeing them as kids on the road, eating in diners, and playing small gigs and festivals. No Doubt always knew how to have a good time.

9. The encore. "Rock Steady" leads into a cover of "Stand and Deliver" with Shirley Manson and Maja Ivarsson of The Sounds. They finish the night with a booming version of "Sunday Morning."

10. At the end of the encores, No Doubt stands down center looks out at the crowd and arm in arm take a bow. Very classy. A triumphant band leaves the stage. Happy fans can feel the closure. Now when's the next album coming out?
